What do you like best about SecurityScorecard?

SecurityScorecard presents security metrics that are easy to understand and present to upper management. It has given me ammo to change some low-hanging security settings without burdening my staff. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SecurityScorecard?

There can be some false positive when looking at the scorecards of vendors because they may use cloud resources which are shared by other companies so malware sources or IP reputation might have been affected by the other companies using the same resource. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SecurityScorecard solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a fast way to give a surface look at the security postures of other vendors or peers. It allows me to push for security changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy of use is what makes it good. You can have it deployed and running in no time, as it is hosted. There are many times where your scorecard will already to be ready t go.

What do you like best about SecurityScorecard?

I use it as one more input when reviewing the vendor security posture within the vendor security risk assessment process. I like it gives me detailed inputs to start asking things about the third party. The reports are detailed enough to submit them and wait for a targeted and not high-level answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SecurityScorecard?

According to third-party feedback, unfortunately, it gives many false positives. I would say that 50% of the vendors I asked about Scorecard-> are not maintaining it and re-direct us to their security trust center with more accurate pentest on their domains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SecurityScorecard solving and how is that benefiting you?

As I said, it's giving me further inputs to kick off conversations with third parties. I wouldn't say it's solving any problem but it's in our checklist in the 3rd parties and supplier assessment. Honestly, so far, it hasn't given us enough accurate information to detect risk exposure in the third party. They don't give much relevance to what SS says and redirect us to their pen tests. It's plenty of false positives (i.e., domains not owned by the scanned URL) in the Application and network security sections.

If we had to follow up each variation in SS we would need a person dedicate to that with no full assurance on adding any value, so, we are not following that "live". Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SecurityScorecard?

SecurityScoreCard (SCC) is not just an external security posture rating platform, but it is also external attack surface management. With all the public data available, it shows a mirror to organizations how exactly security looks from the outside.

With every organization now using SCC scores, a kind of social pressure has been created that every organization must maintain a mark security posture, which is overall good for the community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SecurityScorecard?

Anything related to your company name impacts the score, even your vendor services and all. Although that's the idea that the security posture of any company is not just its own infrastructure but all supplied ecosystem as well. However, sometimes test systems are also hosted with the same company domain, which can drop security scores a lot.

The assist discovery algorithm is not the best, especially for subdomains. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SecurityScorecard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Continuously monitoring external security posture in all areas of the security domain.

Social pressure to remain on top of our security.

Ability to detect external threats. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SecurityScorecard?

- SS provides various reporting options that allow me to target my security results message according to my audience. This is critical as we use results as contract leverage - agreement from the vendor for security control maintenance which can be observed on SS

- SS has a responsive support team. which is critical to me on time-sensitive projects.

-- SS engages its customers regularly to help improve and grow their use of the SS, and to obtain useful feedback from their user base Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SecurityScorecard?

- SS must integrate Atlas with the rest of the product in order to create a holistic view of the vendor's security controls. If they do this, they have a powerhouse tool. Security controls go beyond what can be seen from the Internet or what is reported in the news. Administrative controls, awareness and phishing exercises I need to know about for a final score on a vendor.

- I would like it to be easier to manipulate the footprint/IP roster used to create reports. Case in point, I have business partners I assess who contract with an IT provider to manage their domain. I know the full score of the IT provider includes all domains it provides, and it is the true indicator of its security practices. But I need to report on the subdomain of my customer to gain credibility on my final assessment rating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SecurityScorecard solving and how is that benefiting you?

-Quickly providing provable, unbiased data about the technical security control environment of third parties with whom we share data/connectivity. The SS information is used as part of my final security risk assessments.

- Provides breach history and company stats without me having to research

- SS provides a visual way to begin the security conversation - and continue it - with our vendors/third parties. It gives us leverage during contract renewals and initial signing

- Simply put, IT HELPS ME WITH MY WORKLOAD. I have too many assessments coming in to manage. SS ups my efficiency Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SecurityScorecard?

Security Scorecard is one of the most easy-to-use, intuitive pieces of software I have used in my 36-year working history. It is useful from the time you start using it. Great dashboard display, which then allows you to go deeper into findings and then, as an added bonus - it tells you how to remediate the problem. The software is so good that I have purchased it in the past 3 security roles I have had. I recommend it to security people I know, who have all been "wowed" by it. And did I mention Support? Support is fantastic! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SecurityScorecard?

There isn't a lot I dislike about Security Scorecard. In fact...I can't think of one item that annoys me! Maybe IF it included some information gathered from the Dark Web about my company... yeah, that would make it an 11/10 instead of a 10/10 rating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SecurityScorecard solving and how is that benefiting you?

Security Scorecard is showing me either 1- what I don't know (Patching Cadence, DNS Health etc.) or 2- what would take me hours/ days to gather and then more time to assess. With respect to my second point - it has reduced the likelihood of hiring a security analyst to locate, collect and analyse all the data that Security Scorecard does with the click of a button.
